Subluxation

Subluxation Treatment in Houston

In a healthy pain-free spine, the 24 vertebrae, coccyx bone and sacrum stack on top of one another in a properly centered alignment. However, different life experiences can cause forceful movements which can take one or more vertebrae out of the alignment.

Subluxation is the misalignment of vertebrae in relation to the others. It also refers to the partial dislocation of the vertebrae.

The loss of normal position interferes with the normal function of the surrounding joints and tissues, too.

When your spinal vertebrae are out of position, it causes stress and irritation on the nearby nerves. It prevents your body to function correctly and causes pain. It also affects your overall health and well-being. Subluxation is common among adults over the age of 40.

Dr. Brett Franson is a leading chiropractor in Houston who treats patients with vertebral subluxation. Since the condition affects the communication between the brain and body, effective treatment is essential to bring back normal function.

When subluxation is a result of an acute or traumatic injury, a subluxation of the joint can be extremely painful. It can also cause damage to the structures that support the joint. In such cases, the doctor uses gentle and effective techniques to reduce your pain and ensuring that the joint is back in the proper position. 

What are the Causes of Subluxation?

The common causes of subluxation include stress, toxins, and physical injury. While playing sports or sleeping in an awkward position, trauma can lead to subluxation. When you consume a poor diet, the toxins and chemicals in the food can damage your internal balance and cause muscles to contract.

Stress is of the most common causes of subluxation in modern times. Prolonged tension can cause the muscles around your neck and upper back to tighten.
